SCRIBNERs' for March has been lying
on the LIGHT table for some days wait
ing a recognition of its merits. The
mere enumeration OF its contents con-
veys little idea of its real attractions.
"rhe Stability of the Earth" seems to
be very opportune presentation in this
day OF earthquakes and preditions Of
world ending BY the seers of the religi-
Gus. "The Siege and Commune or
Paris" from the pen Of ex-Minister
Washburne, will be found intensely in
terestlng, and particularly when the ru-
mors Of strained relations between
France and Germany grow so alarming
rs to lead to just fears of a repetition Of
OF the horrors of 1871. The Illustrations
are excellent, and the portrait Of Theirs,
engraved from the painting by Healey,
Is an exquisite work of art, as true to
nature as The great painting itself. The
serials and the completed stories are
unusually absorbing in the interest they
awaken. and no lover OF the old Scrib-
ners but will rejoice at the reappear-
ance of this prince Of magazines. This
third number Is a gem, and its price, %
cents, marks the era Of descent fro
the 81 year price to the ante -bellu IN
prices. The new Scribner will be de-
lightful addition to the book tables of
all reading Americans.

with every advance of emigration into the

Tur rellnIous sratIstics Of ths world

The religious statistics Of the world
are going their periodical rounds. To
the less than 60J,0OO,OOO OF Catholics,
Mohammedans, Professionals, members OF
the Greek church and Hebrews, all told,
there are s5G, 900 heathens. Accord
ing to the republican idea that the will
OF the majority Is law, these $50, 0O0, 900

Catholics and ProtestaDts have got up
